    Since you think those without coverage should have it, if more die because they don't, it's on you for not funding yourself on their behalf.

    Of course, get rid of the mandate, the plan won't work. That's why Republicans snuck it in their omnibus unilateral tax break for the wealthy and corporations law.
    They want Obamacare to fail before its too late. Now seemingly healthy people (read young men and women) won't pay for insurance and some percentage of those will
    have latent diseases or preventable maladies based on lifestyle or get in accidents and suffer. The program will suffer because it will lack the funds from these
    "invincibles." Instead these kids will pay for more cable channels, designs in their beards, new tatoos and VIP partying.

    Look at this as an opportunity for you to personally provide those you think should have coverage but can't afford it with something you believe they should have. As for me, I provide coverage for those to whom I am responsible for doing so. Outside of those, I don't owe shit to anyone else.

    Wow, that was quite a pivot. Went from a discussion of declining enrollment in Obamacare caused by people's free choices to.... corporate welfare? Way to dodge and distract, your majesty, king of deflection!

    And yet you claimed that I'm dishonest without citing anything dishonest that I actually said. Meanwhile, I proved you are dishonest with your own words in post# 36. Poor libtard. In way over your head, without the intellectual chops to back your nonsense up.

    Some of the largest examples of corporate welfare are government health programs, food stamps because most of the money goes to corporations--hospitals, doctors, medical equipment and supplies, farmers, grocery stores, food processors and distributors, trucking...

    Should we abolish all that corporate welfare?

    Yes, that was my point. So do we abolish those programs? If not, which ones do we abolish?

    What is "right-wing" about wanting to abolish corporate welfare?

    Government social programs aren't corporate welfare. If you use government health programs to see a doctor, the doctor is providing something. If you use food stamps at the grocery store, the grocery store allows you to leave with food. Etc.

    The leeches using those programs provide nothing except a way for bleeding hearts in government to make themselves feel better and claim they did something.

    The only deplorable is you. Claim someone should have something they can't afford or don't have yet is personally unwilling to provide it for him/her.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    The katzgars of the forum quite often claim they're about freedom yet supported a federal government mandate requiring people to buy something in an area for which the Constitution doesn't give the federal government power to address.

    Ask those same folks about school CHOICE and being allowed to invest the money they feds require you to give to their Ponzi "retirement" program and see how quickly they believe their looking out for people holds a higher priority than the freedom they claim to support.
